Pathology of head injury
concussion Lesions on level of cellular organelle,
axons, synapses
mild
contusion
spot hemorrhages in cortex, local
subarachnoidal hemorage
moderate
contusion
Primary necrosis in cortex and white
substance, diffuse hemorages in 1-2
gyruses
Large necrosis and hemorages
Severe
contusion

Clear consciousness - full and adequate orientation and
reactions. Possible amnesia.
Mild– slight sleepiness, some time and place disorientantion,
some slowness in command obey,
– hypersomnia, disorientation, only elementary verbal contact is
possible, obeys only simplest verbal instructions.
Stupor – verbal contact is impossible, reactions and eye opening
on pain are preserved.
Mild coma – no eye opening, noncoordinated reactions on pain.
Pupil and corneal reflexes are preserved.
Severe coma – no response on pain, best motor response is
extension or flexion. Pupil and corneal reflexes are decreased.
Spontaneous respiration and blood circulation are preserved with
probable violations.
Terminal coma – no reflexes, muscle atonia, midriasis

contusion, diffuse axon injury, acute cerebral
compression
